If you haven’t played Doki Doki Literature Club before, please don’t look up anything about the game beforehand. Do take note of the warnings at the start if you feel the content might be triggering, but do play it blind if you can.

Completely get the low motivation. I feel this late into a patch it’s not an uncommon thing. If you’re not working on something else, getting into a rut of capping the 450 tome, get the raid tier tokens, do your custom deliveries, do Doma restoration, etc., isn’t difficult. (I’m literally queuing for Expert roulette as we speak 😅).

Hopefully once the news on 7.1 starts to come out it’ll peak your interest again! And if not? Don’t stress 😊 Letting a couple of patches build to get a bigger hit after a break isn’t a bad thing either!

That sounds like a cool little project! I haven’t taken much time to play with the game’s internals since I play on console so it isn’t really possible, but love to see what people can do with a bit of free time and a curiosity to understand how something works!

I’m also looking forward to the raid, although largely because I was an FFXI player for over 10 years, so am curious to see which parts of the game they decide to use for the basis of the raids.

I’ve had a quiet week this week. Haven’t really ticked much off the to do list other than gaining a few levels on my white mage. Should hit 80 this week and then I can try the 80 poetics weapon @pasty@raru.re suggested for my Aerith glam 😊 Did manage to get two non CT Alliance Raids this week though! (Void Ark and Mhach… but at least they’re not CT!)

For 7.1 I’m going to assume we get our first tribal quests (I’ve already forgotten what they’re rebranded to now 😅), and I reckon it’ll be the Pelupelu. Pretty sure they announced them as one of the groups during the DT media tour (I could be wrong there) and given their involvement and proximity with Tuliyollal they seem the most likely choice.

I think everyone knows that, Danny included, but it was nice to see his fans rally around him.

And Danny Ric won driver of the day as well!

I figure brand new major features would be slower in coming. But security would be improved.

I feel there’s going to be an element of “old man yells at cloud” here, but that isn’t inherently a bad thing. I just use Windows at work at the moment but there’s very little I do in Windows that I couldn’t do as far back as Windows XP as long as driver support kept up. I don’t use it for the OS, the OS just enables me to use the applications I need.

Same with MacOS. I know Apple always act like every minor enhancement is the greatest thing ever (look, we added Tabs to Finder 🤩), but ultimately the OS is there to act as the pathway between my applications and my hardware.

If the focus switched from features to security, would we really lose anything of value? At a minimum I wouldn’t have family contacting me cause their PC looks different than it did previously (looking at you centralised Windows taskbar 👀).

I assume the extra padding was a function of touch screens becoming more prevalent since trying to hit the 2003 style buttons with a finger was not that easy, although I don’t remember offhand when touch first started becoming a thing in Windows so it might have happened the other way around. But either way it’s likely still a factor in why the ribbon with its extra padding has stuck around.

Two for two, you guys are on fire! But please don’t use these words around the FIA, it scares them

Yes, that’s a good example of one of the words they’re talking about 😂

Hmm, it’s not quite what I’m looking for but it’s a lot better than a lot of options I’ve found so far. Thank you for the recommendation 😊 It’s something I’ll be getting anyway once I hit 80 so will give it a try once I get there!

This is as far as I’ve gotten with it so far. But not happy with the weapon choices I have (right now I’m just using the level 70 poetics weapon cause I just ticked over to 70 last week and haven’t bothered to glam it).

They do, they’re probably just hoping the advertisers don’t and keep paying for more ad space.

We had a system at work that generated 4 character alphanumeric reference numbers. Originally to avoid this they just excluded vowels from the letters but eventually they grew enough they ran out of available reference numbers so they added the vowels back in and I had to built the blacklist to avoid stuff like this happening. I reckon I probably tripped every IT filter known to man in a week long period looking for swear words in a variety of languages 😂

The part where people share asterisks when they talk about their passwords? Just seems like good security honestly 😂 Glad Lemmy is keeping up with this pinnacle of security best practices.

Perhaps, or perhaps not, but by drawing attention to it you can be it’s gonna be full Streisand Effect and it’s going to get media coverage specifically because he’s asked the community not to.

There’s usually Discord servers too that coordinate runs on the different servers if it’s something you’re wanting to jump into! I haven’t does DRS yet but there’s a new DRS player group planned for the start of next month on Materia that I’m really thinking about giving a go (especially since it’s a weekend where my wife is away so I’ll be at home just with the kids so taking over the lounge room for a run wouldn’t be a major hassle 😊).

Congrats on the clear, and the mount!

Fun fact as well, if you have one of the custom facades being used on your house and then upgrade to a larger plot, the facade upgrades to the new size as well! So you don’t need to say grab a small one initially and then craft a medium one later, it’ll just upgrade with the plot.

Don’t think it applies to the piecemeal facades though (not 100% sure on that) where you pick all the individual features.

Don’t worry, I’m embracing the non-grind mentality

❤️

And yeah, totally understand about the lack of good plots. That being said if you can afford it I’d still recommend getting your foot in the door so to speak with a view to upgrade later when you can, only because it gives you access to the company workshop and submarines, which while it takes months to fully max out eventually becomes a license to print gil with minimal work. And since it does take a while to get to that point, the earlier you start the sooner you’ll be done.

Plus you can unlock workshop crafts to make the new housing facades. They’re often a good money maker right when the new patches drop!

It’s definitely a spiritual successor to Apollo and is the main reason I’ve stuck with Lemmy.
